When you press those buttons you will see the private posting/active key (the one you need to use to post/transfer).
Ok and without clicking on it we see key in permission TAB what is that key OR it is useless ?
And at front of active key key we can see LOG IN TO SHOW means again we have to login to see the active key??
Please help it is bit complicated. But security is must.
To identify on a blockchain that YOU is YOU we use two keys. One is the public key that is visible to everyone and the other one is only known only by you. We call this last one the private key.
The private key is what you will see when you press the button. That is your personal key for your account.
Steem uses 3 keys with different permissions.
When you press the green button next to the keys on the screen shot it will show you your private keys.
These are the keys you should use to login to websites or to make transfers.
THANK YOU for your clearification from now i will not use my master key because i used it in all the way in STEEMIT . But from now i will use private key of posting and active key to post and to transfer STEEM.
Great help to me and i can more secure my account.
If some one have my private key of ACTIVE AND POSTING then i can change that through my Master key which i got at time of creating account??
